Waffle iron cinnamon rolls

Is there anything better than fresh hot cinnamon rolls right out of the oven? Probably not. But unless you have a big crowd, it is hard to enjoy a pan of rolls in their prime. That is what I love about this hack; you can spread out the cooking stage to make sure you're serving (and eating) the rolls fresh and hot.

Ingredients

Dough:

2 cups flour

2 tablespoons white sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons butter, softened

3/4 cup milk

1 egg

Filling:

1/4 cup white sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons cinnamon

Frosting:

1 cup confectioner's sugar

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup butter, softened

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

For the dough, combine the flour, sugars, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Work in the softened butter.

For the filling, combine sugars and cinnamon. Sprinkle it over the brushed dough.

Roll dough around filling, to form a log. Cut log into rolls.

For frosting, beat cream cheese, sugar, butter and vanilla in a separate bowl until smooth.

For making the cinnamon rolls, flatten out an individual roll, and add it to a hot waffle iron that has been coated with cooking spray. Cook the roll for about 4 minutes. Then remove it and drizzle it with the frosting.

Store any uncooked rolls in an air tight container, separated by parchment paper, for up to 3 days.
